The Message is Lost

By Lousienne Dee on January 8, 2012 11:50 pm

One of my main problems as a composer is that I tend to get so caught up in the tiniest of details while trying to convey whatever it is that I'm conveying that I lose the "message", which results in incoherency.

Initially, I thought that this piece was going to be another one of those. But as more issues popped up, both from a technical and emotional standpoint, I started thinking.. "What if I take things so far that any point I was trying to convey is destroyed, and thus becomes the point?"

...seriously, that worked a lot better in my head, lol.

Composed using LMMS, Hi-Q MP3 Recorder (hooray for Android-based mobile phones!), generic earbuds that come with mobile phones and Audacity. Ideally, I would have liked a bit more of an organic sound and better equalisation, but considering I didn't start work on this until about 2pm or so Adelaide time on Sunday, I'd like to think that this resembles okay.
